Sample 35th Birthday Invitation

The secret of his eyes



After you watch this movie I was shaking with emotions the surface, feeling that you just experienced for the latter one when I saw Midnight Express Train. It is a masterful film keeps the viewer lingers on the plot and characters in each one, and where it seems that now is the climax of the story reaches a peak even higher ... infarction!

The main character, Benjamin Esposito, played by Ricardo Darin, has worked all his life as a law clerk in a criminal court in Buenos Aires and at retirement decides to write a novel about a case that changed his life, about a murder and rape occurred in 1974 which he participated in since the lifting of the body in the procedure, your investigation, prosecution, etc. , Reaching more involved than you'd expect from a court clerk.

The firm direction is impeccable, tells the story in modern times in which Esposito writes a novel and relive history, and from the 70's themed scenes according to the historical moment. The chase scene of the murderer in a stadium during a game of Racing is spectacular.

The movie is a thriller very well done, and within this tale of crime and bloodshed is interweaves a love, not just between two people but on the power of love, the widower who moves to endure those years the memory descuertizada his wife, and he who takes Esposito to continue courting the same woman for over twenty years.

Beyond history as such, I have a lot of impact the film because as never before seen, portrays life in a criminal court in Argentina, which I think is not very different from all of Latin America . Is the judge, a veteran arrogant despot who is just doing his job mechanically, often without awareness of how tragically affect the lives of people. The fact to acquit, condemn, and especially the failure to do or make things very mediocre means that increasingly lost credibility in the justice that we humans might work in this justice in the judicial apparatus is moved one meter while the criminal and is six miles.

As a lawyer also obvious that the inquisitorial system used at that time, in which the judge leading the investigation and was judge and jury on this. Then we were taken acustorio system which gives the prosecutor the power to direct the criminal investigation and the judge remained as guarantor of the process. The issue of human rights is now irrefutable, untouchable and who dares to criticize the rights of the accused will be branded as little more than a Nazi ... But what happens when processing is a rapist, murderer, very intelligent, and it has left traces of their passage on the scene? Happen here the following: This would never have been arrested, and circumstantial evidence that those unable to destroy the presumption of innocence, he would be entitled to his lawyer, who would speak for hours fixing the strategy so I would suggest you keep quiet, for lack of tests may not have even been accused, and if yes it would be accused is more than one year in prison and outside, in the event that less than a year had made the adjudication hearing, no evidence had been practiced law, therefore managing justice on behalf of the Republic and by authority of law, it has been found not guilty .... And we will not entrust to the saints and divine justice.

Well deserved the Oscar for best foreign film. For me this was the best movie I've seen in years.
